Just remembered - the vegetable-based hydraulic fluid was Lockheed 22, which was used with natural rubber seals. Obsolete so you can forget it. I've got a story about someone putting mineral oil in a museum aircraft's NLG oleo, which promptly ate the (irreplaceable) seals. No names, locations & pack drill!
